Public Opinion Taking Effect in Washington.
Cannonism and Ma
chine Rule
demned.
c
On-
Public Opinion has put in an
appearance at Washington in
such vigorous form that the under current of exite-ment is creating consternation in many
quarters. Old Washington,
which had gone over to the
Trust and left us, looks very
much as if it would be brought
back to the Government of the
U. S. Public opinion is a quan-
ity which the trusts cannot corner, and money cannot control
it as long as only a favored few
are getting the real lasting
benelits of prosperity; but the
real trouble for the Trusts is
that public opinion is invincible
the outgrowth of conscience, in
the support of our common interests, and is incompatible
with the Trusts. The natural
fear of public opinion is the origin of the trust-created expression whereby the people are
designated as "the galleries."
Anyone appealing to the people
is said to be "talkingtothe galleries." Autocrats like to
term the people thus, and
while they are playing, they
charge them "box prices" for
mere standing room in the theatre of life. More directly
stated: They are "playing their
game," and the people work to
support them. %
Under the Constitution, we
are divided into cengressional
representative districts, with
equal representative authority.
But the Washington Government has disregarded the idea
of equal representative authority, by refusing to recognize
representatives from districts
not suited to its purposes. Of
course, they can not send them
back home again, but they are
not consulted about the patronage, nor other wishes, of their
districts. The direct and indirect harm from such disregard
is easily exemplified in the Iat-"
est attempt of the Cannon
machine to induce the Departments to turn dowu representatives who do not submit to
Cannonism. It is not the patronage that is so material, but
the effect of its control on
measures lo be acted upon. It
is not assumed that President
Taft will press any legislation
that is unfavorable to us as a
people. Hut suppose he did.
It can be readily seen how fear
on the part of weak members,
who regard patronage for
of their friends as more important than measures vital to the
people such as control of
Trusts and others, would largely influence such measures ami
deprive each district of a part
of its influence in legislation.
The practice is wrong, and
nothing but public condemnation will correct it, and if the
people are to be trusted to run
this government,they should be
trusted in every district with
the same impartiality, aud not
be subjected to the humilation
of having the Washington Government deny them this privilege. Of course, patronage is
a necessary part iu the affairs
of government; but the correct
rule in regard thereto is to
till all appointive offices with
persons who consider public
rights superior to personal
gains. Aud as soon as the
.Machine is disposessed of its
control and the people again
exercise their sovereign powers, who hold office thru
machine patronage and are ma-

PASSES AWAY
Mrs. John Dahmen, who
has been ill for s erne time,
died in the hospital at Little
IA.lis last Monday evening after undergoing an operation!
for cancer of the bone. After
miking-an incision the phvsi-
cian found that it would be
necessary to amputate the
arm, the cancer being h cated
in the humerus. Accordingly
after notifying her family to
be present, the arm was taken off. but she was unable to
survive the severe ordeal and
died soon after the operation.
The > ectased was born in
Cross Plains, Wis , 46 years
ago. She came to Pierz with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jo-
seph Virnig, in 187.S and was
married in 1884. She was a
good vsife and mother and a
devoted Christian. She leaves
a husband and twelve children
to mourn her early death, besides her aged father and two
grandchildren, all of whom
have the heartfelt sympathy
of the entire community in
their sad bereavement.
The burial ceremonies will
be hell in the - t. John's
church in Lastrup. >Jick
Dahmen, the oldest son c f the
deceased, who lives inQuincy,
Wash., is on the way and the

he arrives.
Goveroment says to the people
there, that it will not accept
the man whom they have selected, and as a punishment to
them for not sending the kind
of man wanted by Washington,
their district-patronage is taken from them. Fortunately for
that district, the State has
neither a Piatt nor a Penrose
for Senator to trade on patronage, and so no direct harm is
done in this case except to deprive the sovereign people
there of a sovereign right. For
that district has a right to assert its influence in Congress,
and should not be limited by
taking from it a sovereign
right, while other districts possess theirs. This statement is
made without reflection on the
present or any previous administration, for the practice is of
long standing, and its undoing
should have its initiative in a
demand by the people. The
present attempt of Cannonism
to press members into service
by an attempted use of tpe

BASKET SOCIAL AND
BASKET BALL GAME
♦An interesting game of basket ball was played Monday evening between two quintets representing the two parts of the
village, Upper Pierz and Lower
Pierz. It was a hotly contest-
and "scrappy" game but little
or no systematic playing was in
evidence. However there were
several good individual plays
made. The five representing
Lowertown proved the stronger of the two quints and won
out by a score of 34 to 20.
.After the game the dainty
baskets brought by the ladies
and tilled with all kinds of
good things to eat, were auctioned off by Mark Vonderhaar
and netted a neat little sum of
$24 for the Pierz Athletic Association. The remainder of the
evening was spent in disposing
of the contents of the baskets
and "tripping the light fantastic."
